I have to say that my favorite part of the
roast turkey
dinner has to be the leftovers. There are just so many different things that you can do with the leftovers and it is always fun coming up with creative new ways to use them. Before I start using the leftovers for creative things however I have to have at least one
turkey and cranberry sauce sandwich
. I had been thinking of mayo based 'salads' since I made the
egg salad BLT
and it seemed pretty obvious to try a turkey salad sandwich and I was a bit surprised that I had not thought of it earlier. Along with the turkey and mayo I went with some other classic chicken salad sandwich ingredients including celery and green onions. From there I went with some seasonal ingredients including some pecans, dried cranberries and sage and I finished everything off with some crisp and juicy apple. This sandwich was literally as easy as mixing all of the salads ingredients and assembling the sandwich. I really enjoyed the turkey salad sandwich and I will definitely be making it again! How can you really go wrong with a salad that is held together with mayo? The crunchy pecans and the crisp celery and apple added a really nice contrasting texture and the turkey, pecan and cranberry combo really reminded me of holiday flavours.

Your sandwich looks delicious! I agree leftovers are the best part- especially for the chefs, who are so busy getting things together they don't always have time to enjoy. My favorite is layers of turkey, stuffing, rice, cranberry sauce with diluted gravy poured over everything and baked.
